Linkage maps have been developed for bulb onion (Allium cepa L.) and bunching onion (A. fistulosum L.). It is considered that a high level of macrosynteny exists between these 2 species since they belong to the section Cepa and have the same chromosome number (2n=16). However, a detailed comparison...
